Single’s day is a popular culture holiday for Chinese bachelors on November 11. The date is chosen because “1” represents single people. This holiday is created by Chinese people a few years ago but quickly becomes even more popular than Chinese traditional Valentine’s day.

However, according to Fengqingyang’s blog, merchants are the happiest people. On November 11, 2011, many unbelievable miracles happened. For example, Taobao reached a new daily on-line turnover record, 5.2 billion RMB. The other miracle was that a low-budget Chinese movie called “Lovelorn thirty-three days” got 3.5 billion at box office partially due to first releasing on Singles’ day. It is thought-provoking question that what the significance of Single’s day is.

For me, Single’s day is for singles to celebrate their bachelor life. For people who want to stop their bachelor life, they can confess their love to their target. However, most people only consider this day as a shopping time, which loses the original purpose of Singles’ day. How to celebrate in Singles’ day? For instance, Single’s day is supposed to be spent like parties and karaoke for bachelors to meet new friends. The day should be more meaningful other than going shopping.
